Sameer Suleman, a prominent figure in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has expressed concern over the government’s management of the Affordable Input Program (AIP), particularly regarding the distribution of fertilizer and subsidized seeds.
Speaking at a rally in Chinamwali, Zomba, Suleman highlighted the reduction in the number of beneficiaries as a major issue. “It is troubling that the number of beneficiaries has been reduced from 1.5 million to 1 million. This is deeply disappointing,” Suleman said, emphasizing that the reduced coverage will not benefit the majority of Malawians who rely on the program.
Suleman’s remarks were made during a gathering of DPP officials, where they discussed various challenges facing the country under the current government. The AIP program, which has been a lifeline for many farmers, has come under scrutiny due to concerns over its implementation and accessibility to the most vulnerable populations.
Suleman’s criticism reflects the broader frustrations within the opposition regarding the government’s approach to addressing agricultural needs in Malawi.
